The entire state of Utah will see periods of accumulating snow through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

The storm is expected to impact the Friday evening commute. The snow showers will progress north from Utah County through Salt Lake County and into Davis and Weber Counties by early evening, according to the NWS.

NWS also warns of winter driving conditions and difficult traveling along I-84 from Tremonton to the Idaho border Friday night into Saturday morning. Parley's Summit, US-40 and US-6 will see winter driving conditions beginning Friday as well.

Roads in Provo Canyon will be closed off and on through Friday night as crews work to clear the snow.

The storm will push out the linger inversion hanging over the Salt Lake Valley.

The slow-moving storm is expected to leave 12 to 24 inches of snow in the northern mountains, 10 to 20 inches of snow in the southern mountains and valleys north of I-70 will see between four and eight inches of snow.

With the new snow, avalanche danger may also increase. Be sure to check for the latest information from utahavalanchecenter.org.

A winter storm warning is in effect through 11 a.m. on Sunday for the Wasatch Mountains south of I-80 including the areas of Woodruff, Randolph, Alta and Brighton.
